iirc, I'm open to correction of course, most of their players are full time with the exception of a few.
I thought that Derry City had gone full time but I met a wee man from Derry today who told me otherwise. All of the players are based in the vicinity of Derry but most have other jobs. Is this true?

Read the other day that Liam Beckett is the obligatory postman. Apparently French TV followed him as he readied himself for work at 4am or somesuch ungodly hour pre UEFA Cup last week.
WARNING: NO 'BECKETT DELIVERS GOODS' 'BECKETT STAMPS AUTHORITY' etc. comments.
Read McHugh commenting on getting some sort of business up and running and how it affected his early season form also.
Thought the same about Cork but heard that Billy Woods is a car salesman and Joe Gamble works in a menswear shop?
It's Gary Beckett.
And Derry City's players are not full-time, although they do train every day and are expected to adopt a professional attitude.
Most player have jobs.
Beckett-Postman
Hutton-Training to be a Social Worker
Martyn-Sells mortgages
Delaney-Accountant
Those are the ones I know.

Yep, brainfart.
Kevin McHugh works in a computer firm in Letterkenny last I heard. As far as i know Darren Kelly, Steve O'Flynn, Killian Brennan and Ruiadhri Higgins are full time.
So would the bulk of the team be fulltime and then some who have jobs which they don't want to or can't leave?
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
A lot are full-time students, which as everyone knows, is anything but full-time.
McHugh work for Donegal County Council and owns a couple of sports shops as well.
I think the confusion sometimes arises due to two definitions of full-time clubs, one that means clubs with mostly full-time (professional) players and one that refers to clubs paying 52 weeks a year.

I think Neal Horgan is full-time now as all his exams are done.
Someone told me recently that Billy Woods trains with the young fellas 2 or 3 nights a week and then Thursday mornings with the first team..
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.
O'Bama - "Eerah yeah, I'd say we can alright!"
G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!
